Well first we have to define terrorism. If we look in the article, Webster’s New World College Dictionary defines terrorism as “the use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate and subjugate, especially such use as a political weapon or policy.”
I'm fine with that definition and, thereby calling this incident terrorism. However the word terrorism is used strictly in the Orwellian sense by the media. It is almost always used for violence against us, never committed by us, and usually for militant Muslim groups activities.
If we think about it, the biggest perpetrators of terrorism are armies of large, powerful countires. But it is never depicted that way.
